• Review AI-generated output, identify failures, and write precise corrections with reasoning
• Maintain a strict quality bar on correctness and reproducibility
• Share structured feedback that improves future task design

• 3+ years of professional experience in DevOps, SRE, Platform, or Infrastructure engineering
• Strong coding ability in Python, Go, Bash, or TypeScript (this role needs real code, not scripts alone)
• Practical depth in CI/CD (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins), Docker, Kubernetes, and at least one cloud (AWS, GCP, Azure)
• Infrastructure as Code experience (Terraform, Ansible, Pulumi, or CloudFormation)
• Advanced Linux and Git
• Professional English, written and spoken
• Availability of at least 20 hours per week

Preferred qualifications
